Schlumberger's OIL system helps newly hired engineers learn more about the tools they will use on drilling rigs.

O.I.L. - Online Interactive Learning

Schlumberger's Logging While Drilling group had a problem. Too many students for their engineering seminars and not enough classroom space. They hired InterCom to help them ease the load.

InterCom analyzed the content of the nine-week seminar and determined which parts of it could be develped as computer-based training. The result was a robust, 25-hour training solution delivered to the students world-wide on their laptops and through the corporate intranet. Lessons include both simulations and practice. Grades from the course can be uploaded to a central database anywhere there is an internet connection.

Schlumberger has lopped off nearly 3 weeks of their original nine-week seminar while at the same time offering more advanced topics in the newly revamped seminar.
